From actor Avan Jogia comes a raw and moving collection of poetry,
stories, and art about living as a mixed-race person in a world
increasingly fixated on racial identity.
In Mixed Feelings, Avan Jogia explores his complicated emotions around race, identity, religion, and family through poetry and imagery. Drawing on the author's own life story as well as interviews he's conducted with friends and strangers, Mixed Feelings serves as a dialogue starter for difficult topics that now, more than ever, need to be discussed.

Mixed Feelings is an exploration of
what it means to be a mixed-race person in today’s world. Inspired by
numerous letters from Avan’s fans, the collection tells of his personal
experiences and stories from others interviewed for the book. Mixed Feelings is a raw and moving investigation into identity.
This was absolutely beautiful and unexpected. It was touching,and emotional and it made me angry because I could feel how so many of those people feel. Avan used his words and pictures to add more depth and feeling to it all. We are more than our color and our race, and in terrible times like now, Avan makes an impact. I really hope this does well and he puts out more work, he deserves to be recognized.
